|   The 
              Los Angeles Field Division of DEA is hosting a conference for Police 
              Chiefs and other senior managers of state and local law enforcement 
              agencies throughout southern California. This conference is designed 
              to enhance coordination in the region and to provide training relative 
              to the most current methods of identifying, investigating and prosecuting 
              significant drug money-laundering organizations. 
             
            DEA retained the 
              services of Robert Mazur to 
              lecture conference attendees concerning advanced techniques used 
              to identify, infiltrate and prosecute international money laundering 
              organizations that service drug cartels. During his presentations, 
               Mr. Mazur will address the 
              willful participation of certain international financial institutions 
              in global money laundering schemes. In addition, he will review 
              the mechanics of various commerce related money laundering schemes, 
              including the Black Market Peso Exchange and the “Reintegros” 
              System, both of which are extensively employed by Colombian and 
              other South American based drug cartels.
